There is a pod of 60 resident bottlenose dolphins in Milford Sound. They love putting on a show for visitors. So keep your camera poised as their hooked dorsal fins approach. Soon you will be delighted by their acrobatic antics in the wake of your boat. Then they will race along the side in a leaping game of tag before disappearing. If you are lucky, you can watch them chase, herd and feed on a school of fish. Other marine life sharing Milford Sound are Fiordland crested penguins from July through November and an occasional group of southern right whales.
